She was the curator of the Harvard College Observatory glass plate 
collection for over 40 years.  She was a champion for women in science
and 
astronomy.  She helped save the glass plate collection - largest in the 
world - from deterioration.  You may recall, she was guest speaker at an

ATMoB meeting that inspired club members like Ed Los to participate in
the 
digitizing of the plate collection so that it continues to be a research

tool for astronomers world wide.  She was quite a woman!!
Best,
Virginnia
